RUMOR MILL: O&A Channel becomes re-branded, and turns into afternoon drive with Opie/Jim/Ronny B. once they resign in October....?

Think about it (or shinkle about it, I don't give a fuck)...
Opie spoke publicly about his interest in rejoining Afternoon Drive once that idea was proposed to them a few months ago. Anthony freaked the fuck out, and Jimmy simply took the high road, and didn't say much except "I'll do what my contract says."
Jimmy is a comedian. He stays up late as fuck. He's done nothing but complain about his lack of sleep and how much he hates it. Jimmy would thrive in afternoon drive.
Ron has proven to be very successful on the O&A show, and carries wit and humor similar to Anthony's, minus the racial baggage. Ron also said he fucking hates working morning radio, and would never do it.
Opie, as said above has mentioned how working mornings has taken a toll on him. He said he wants to see more of his kids, and working mornings would allows this (until they start going to grade school, but opie is retarded as fuck so who cares).
This make sense for all parties involved, including Sirius. Sirius NEEDS an Afternoon Drive Show. Opie/Jimmy/Ron have shown to have great chemistry, and Ron's presence would give them a major boost in their interviewing ability.
I'm not here to say "fuck anthony," I'm really going to miss the fella. I'm just trying to figure out what will unfold if the guys decide to stay at Sirius.

Of all the times Ant was ever out, I thought Jimmy Opie and Ronnie were the best lineup. Much as it obviously stinks not having AC, I think that would be an amazing show with those three.

Ok lets see Opie, Jim and Ron stay at Sirius and have jobs. Anthony is doing LFTC and living off his millions, so he is ok. Meanwhile Fez is carving "Fez was here" in a ceiling beam before he hangs himself?
Don't be responsible for Fez's death! He needs something in his life.

Sorry, but fuck Fez.

Agreed. I like Ronnie B but I can't stand Fez. Whether or not he's a bit he stinks on ice. I tried, I can't.

I don't see this happening. It would be great, but I don't see it. Op and Ron are both 20+ year radio veterans--you can't pair them with someone else this late in the game. It would be too weird. It works for one off shows a few times a year, but not as a daily thing.
Also, Ron is not one to shake things up. He just started on a new channel and is going to stick there for at least a couple of years. I think he likes how things are going on RawDog and wants to see how big he can make that.

I could see this happening.
What would we get in the morning? 4 hours of preshow with Sam or a replay of yesterday afternoon?

Sam & Friends with Whoo Dat, Nicole, The Staff, and Dennis Falcone. Actually I really enjoy those post shows where its like that, different vibe but still O&A elements.

I would love to see Ronnie B get some help. He has zero help and is still giving good radio.
